I don't think a framework can make a blanket statement about accessibility unless it's a negative one. Even if the framework does everything right, user error can completely break accessibility inadvertently. All such a statement does is give people a false sense of security that they ticked the "accessibility" checkbox, leaving people dependent on a screen reader, Braille device, with a motoric navigation difficulty, etc. completely stranded.

I have a habit of turning on NVDA, Android Talkback, etc. quite frequently to test when I'm working on a website, but even then, there are big differences between screen readers and a blanket statement of accessibility is completely worthless. People frequently tell me that something I tested on several Windows/Android devices doesn't work on Voiceover despite following the relevant standards. It's like browsers in the IE6 era, you need to explicitly test with as many as you can. And yes, it sucks.
I don’t usually hear credible and thoughtful discussion on this topic…

Fiona Hill’s 2023 Lennart Meri Lecture describes this well.

> Similarly, data should be open to stimulate innovation... At OP3, we apply this philosophy to both our podcasts and our data. Currently, OP3 focuses mainly on providing data to podcasters, then to podcast applications, and finally to the industry as a whole. The idea is not to allow the download of a complete database like PodcastIndex.org does, but to provide specific statistics and analyses. Users can get data on specific podcasts if they know their URLs. We may consider making the data more widely available on a paid basis in the future to support the project.

That is not open data as I understand it. How can data be called open when it's locked on someone's server and I have to pay them to access it? What's the difference between this open data standard and collecting data about users and selling it to marketing companies?
Going up to n is surely excessive. You need a version of the Riemann hypothesis to get any sort of logarithmic bound, but a sqrt(n) bound can be achieved using unconditional Polya-Vinogradov type inequalities. (A successful Miller-Rabin test corresponds to a nontrivial value of a Dirichlet character, and Polya-Vinogradov ensures that the least such value cannot exceed sqrt(n) * ln(n), unconditionally without the need for any Riemann hypothesis.)

A reference for this material is "Explicit bounds for primality testing and related problems" by Eric Bach, Math. Comp. 55 (191), July 1990, pp. 355-380.
Someones going to have to enshitify (kind of hate that word) all of AI then.

After a week of using Claude, I am so done with Google searches. When I ran out of my allotted Claude queries and had to return to Google searches I was bombarded with SEO crap that put up cookies notifications, complained about my ad blocker, wanted me to receive notifications and then often didn't even answer the question I had.

With ChatGPT and Claude now I should be able to keep from having to use search.

In fact if I had "Claude-offline", internet traffic in this home would drop considerably.
Very good write up ! Thanks
Because it makes harder for USA NGO's to manipulate countries like Georgia. And those protests is a clear example of the power those NGO's have.
You should be a lawyer.
That is a generic argument that can be used against any form of regulation on the rental market. As the proportion of people who rent increases, I suspect that there will be growing political pressure to ban these intrusions and humiliations. (I wonder if you share your own bank statements with your tenants?)
> It is entirely possible to minimize and mitigate these conducted and radiated emissions.

Reducing EMI down at medium wave from motor drives is really, really hard. Filter networks that keep most of the switching frequency out of the motor and motor wiring are big, cost money, and reduce efficiency.
Good. It doesn't work here either.
As I understand, Bittorrent is not a persistent data structure. Git and IPFS are. Radicle is another interesting approach. They used IPFS but switched to a custom protocol, as I understand, for performance.
> Therefore, as long as a farmer or subsequent user of golden rice genetics would not make more than $10,000 per year, no royalties would need to be paid. In addition, farmers would be permitted to keep and replant seed

From a farmer’s point of view, that’s a definite yes.
I'd much rather mentor a junior dev than fight with and review chaff from an LLM.

Not necessarily true.

Higher T levels are associated with more risk taking and aggression, sure, but also less neurotic and irritable behavior.
Note that KANs use LBFGS, which is second-order optimization method. My experience with the use of second-order features suggests that simple gradient descent often leads to divergence.
To be clear, I don't really do systems programming outside of playing with Arduino and FreeRTOS (if that even counts).

A perfect OS to me would allow as much as possible to be in the user space, even stuff that's traditionally done at the kernel space (e.g. drivers). I believe that microkernels make this easier, but I'm not sure; I know Redox advertises the ability to write drivers in userspace though.

I'm not sure how possible it would be, but it would be awesome if drivers could be easily written in high level language with garbage collection and the like.

I'd like pipes to be a bit more versatile, specifically I'd like to glue together arbitrary programs, and not just stuff from stdout. I want effectively every GUI program to be able to directly communicate with every other GUI program, and I would like it if programs didn't have to do much to support this (e.g. I don't just want a reinvention of OLE or something).

I'd like easier first-class support for RAM-based filesystem mounts; I know you can hack something together with tmpfs in Linux to get something like that, but I want to be able to quickly in my file manager make a folder that lives only in RAM.

That's a few things that I can think of; I believe something like this is possible within Plan 9/Inferno, so maybe I'm just reiterating what people mourn about that. Still, a guy can dream.
Oh, my memory isn't nearly that good. I thought you were right, but I couldn't remember it more than that.

I cobbled together the correct yt-dlp command to get all the subtitles and a little Python glue to search them.
On a lark I ordered a weather radio from Amazon a little while back. Since I live in the storm-infested Midwaste, I thought it was a good idea.

It arrived, I plugged it in, and somewhat familiarized myself with how it worked.

And then two days later it was lit up, blaring as a tornado was making kindling of homes about a mile from where I live (West Omaha, Nebraska).

While the cell phone also kicked off, I like the redundancy and non-reliance on cell.

(Apparently the sound of the tornado warning is already imprinted in the mind of one of my cats. While I was watching tornado videos on YouTube, she crawled under the couch when she heard the familiar sound coming from my laptop.)
Yikes.

What if the other user getting attacked is you or another admin on your team?

Now the attacker has admin access and can compromise your servers and “leak everyone’s data” just fine.

I don’t think you’ve thought this through.
There are a lot of public services and a big insurance company quoted as examples in the blog post. From my consulting experience I can easily imagine how much work, meetings and ceremony got poured in each of these contact forms. Surely they all got enterprisey backends with Spring Boot and whatnot. In another world a junior dev could create better, faster, more ergonomic forms in less time with a more pragmatic approach.
Spoiler alert: it takes 2:07 until someone draws a penis.
Here's the great thing about wood: every age is the wood age. We have always put the most advanced tool technology of the age toward working with wood, because wood has been eternally useful. And in turn, wood-based technology has advanced with the tools used to craft it. In a symbiotic relationship, those uses of wood advance the uses of other materials, too.

Almost every building today (most of them are small house-like structures) is made of wood, and it has been that way for recorded history. Wood shows up in many places where you would expect humans to have come up with a more advanced material today, too.

In that way, classifying a "wood age" is not all that useful.
The problem with that idea is that it requires every router to know about every system on the network. Unless they abandon Ethernet and replace it with MPLS source routing, which maybe they should. You'd still have a maximum subnet size, because the hardware firewall that would still have to be in front of every server would have a limited capacity.
Interesting ideas wrapped in an insufferable, patronizing wrapper. Perhaps they could have found someone else to write this. Valuable concepts that are going to have a narrow audience.
You can, but it's ugly and time-consuming. And makes it harder to parse what's actually a comment.
> Allowing people access to bullet proof vests sure seems desirable to me!

Maybe, but I'm not sure law enforcement would agree with you, for their own very good reasons.

> But also I think the "treating the gunshot wound" analogy is a better fit. A crop that produces vitamin A is a treatment for population suffering from vitamin A deficiency.

No, it's not a treatment, it's a prevention measure, and its effect is very slow (the population must accept the reinforced food, and incorporate it in sufficient fashion in their diet, and it can take decades before the entire population is positively affected). “letting people grow this crop” is only the very beginning of a very complex social process that you are oversimplifying.

I don't have a particular opinion on the use of Golden Rice nor on GMOs in general, but believing that it will instantly solve the social problem at stake is delusional, and such delusion is exactly part of the lobbying campaign from GMOs industrial, which, unlike GMOs themselves, is a problem.

The only way for such a technological solution to be as effective as advertised, is with strong political support and regulation allowing its very quick generalization (that's what we did with iodized salt) but one must be careful with such an approach, because its effectiveness itself is a danger if things have hidden side effect (see the adverse effects of added fluorine in tap water to prevent dental cavities).
It won't make a difference, the other end (gateway) will only accept vpn connections, nothing more or less. Devices that can't establish a connection with your wg/openvpn won't be able to communicate with any other device anywhere in any way period.
Nothing gives me quick, accessible energy like carbs though. Energy to think and love my body. Yes I’ve seen documentaries on low carb high fat ultra athletes, but they still have their fats with a bowl of pasta. God only knows their saturated fat intake too. A carbless diet does not seem well rounded, and is thus unhealthy. So carbs are essential.

Excellent grist for a Saturday afternoon RAG. Thanks!
That is a problem but thankfully there is a lot of attention on training with highly curated high quality data right now because it is a known problem. Buggy code is still valuable training data if you use it as part of a question and evaluate the response against a corrected version of the code when training the model to perform a task like bug fixing.
Should these sorts of settlements be allowed? Shoudn't the judge reject the deal on public safety grounds?
Google just had an income of $23B in the last three months (7.6B a month). Whether their results are good or bad, this is their goal. Whatever billions OpenAI makes they are from paying customers and I would guess it's revenue and not income. Google is making $23B off of mainly FREE products.

There is a very long road to Google losing dominance. It will happen because everything dies but I would bet that's a long way away.
But how do we know you aren't just one of replyguy's bots being used to promote his service right now, eh?
Not sure this is a good idea.

A bit like I personally think teaching programming in a typed language is a good idea so that the kids internalize that conceptually before they jump to a lang with auto casting.

Same with the tools...I think there is value in doing it the hard way initially.
Yeah you misread that. Read it again, it's saying normal fuzzing is unlikely to find it but Kani finds it instantly.
Like most associations and trade groups, they are beholden to whatever gives them money. It's like when the Academy of nutrition and dietetics was sponsored by Pepsi and Mars.
If political activism still has one fearing for one's life we never got any far from the dark ages. We just have better tools.
Google a lot more than just search. And they have their parent alphabet which is massive.
Were there some other intelligent species (or even our own) that developed some advanced civilization before 13 thousand years ago, we’d have evidence in plant and animal life. Supporting large populations required humans to selectively breed all of the plant and animal foodstuffs that humans eat today. As such, we’d expect to find animals and plants that were different from wild specimens at the same layers in Earth.
> yes, I believe that you could be different.. most people, most of the time, are not different

I dunno, I think a lot of people want money but not at any cost. To me the problem is that it's so hard to actually invest in line with one's values. Businesses with carbon neutrality goals are mostly just buying into fake carbon offsets, etc.

> as if any price is not artificial

Certainly increased prices due to actual supply or demand shocks, or increased prices of inputs or labor are different from execs quietly price fixing. Maybe "artificial" isn't the right word to express that difference.

> This statement is a tip of an iceburg to economic thinking that sees companies and governments and other groups as having a "life of their own" and significantly and fundamentally changing the trajectory of outcomes.

I'm not claiming that institutions behave as just the sum of the behavior of the humans involved. And I'm not seeking an explanation of the behavior of companies or institutions. My point about stuff ultimately being held by people is only that there is a group (one might even call it a "class") of people who benefit from price increases like this, even if they are not directly owners of shares in specific companies.

I don't understand your position at all. From what I can tell you think that people who do benefit from harmful behaviors must want those behaviors to continue (I might call this "complicity") but simultaneously to believe that seeking to even describe this group of people is itself harmful. It's almost like you want the moral certainty of saying that rich people are bad, but forestall actual change which might require a lot of work and uncertainty.

I was shocked by the ADA's nutritional training (required by my insurance company) but I figured that the actuaries had decided they'd delay amputation better by encouraging people to eat a small slice of cake rather than no cake at all.
I switched health providers and got a physical recently. One of my labs came back with "pre-diabetic" check marked. I asked my doctor about this and I was .1% into the metric. It could have been either side of the line. I'm very fit because I enjoy hiking and exploring.

I already avoid sugar and bread. I work out nearly every day. I'm very active and my BMI is on point. My blood sugar was fine. It was another metric that I can't recall at the moment - but it seemed weird. Regardless, a very obese nurse sat me down and gave me tips for changing my diet.

Is there a license for the data provided by the API?

Petflix, the Video Player for 1977's Commodore PET (Feat. Star Wars)
This is a 6502 assembly video player for the Commodore PET. Not fully finished, but I haven't really worked on it in the last 3 or 4 years.

Videos are encoded with a C++ Linux encoder, and played from a floppy drive emulator, at the incredible speed of 2.5K/s.

Yes, all the film covers shown are encoded. Due to a stupid encoder bug, films are still limited to 20 minutes...
"Impact EV range"? When off? Come on.

Now, running Unreal Engine in the dashboard actually does affect vehicle range. Some infotainment systems are real power hogs.

The great thing about AM radio is that it can receive even if all other infrastructure for hundreds of miles around is down. It's not that you get your initial alert over AM radio. It's that you turn it on after the disaster and get some useful info.
You guessed wrong! I biked for sport in France and the bay area. But also for commuting in San Francisco (so dangerous), and Palo Alto for many years.

My reaction was to the 50 km/h, as if the person was cycling at that speed. edit: maybe they meant that below 50 years old you don't need gears.

By the way, France has switched to a 30 km/h limits in towns. Pretty nice for cyclists feeling of safety.
One of my favorite bands, TTNG, has a wicked good song inspired by this essay. If you like math-rock at all I reckon you’d enjoy it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dCKXg2scb_s&pp=ygUaaW4gcHJhaXN...

Haha. Auto-correct. I think I meant light "work" editing maybe??
I did not expect that. So Backstage asks you to manually insert plugin components into the app source code? Yeah... that really doesn't feel like a plugin architecture to me. More like patch the source code so it does what you need it to do. Nothing wrong with that, but not a plugin architecture.
"nothing about carbs themselves that is bad for diabetics"

For short-term backups flash memories are very reliable.

They are unreliable for long-term storage without using them. They are guaranteed for only one year of cold storage, because their memory-cell capacitors will slowly discharge.

When the flash memories are new, i.e. they have not been written multiple times, they may hold their data for more than the guaranteed one year, but for archival purposes you should never count on being lucky.

You can extend the storage time on flash memories by reading them periodically, because if they have good firmware for their controllers then they will automatically rewrite any sector that has been read with errors.
I have no credentials here, but I'm often working in this space and your take is the polar opposite of what I normally hear from the endos and diabetes researchers that I've worked with. More accurate terms might be diabetes and morbid diabetes.

That the cutoff for prediabetes is close to the median level is a statement that much of the population is actually unhealthy in this regard.
Oh this is embarrassing.

Yep. Quote is at the end.
> Take that to the extreme and you get WASM, or it's predecessor asm.js

Only if your code was pure number crunching.

Normal code can't just go through some belt tightening to become WASM/asm.js code. Compiling it down that way is very different from making the control flow more understandable to the optimizer.
It's literally a business model to do so.

100x Faster Babel `scope.rename()`
We already know everything that’s to know about nuclear weapons if used for defense and deterrence. A pure fusion bomb would be relatively clean so it would be much more tempting to use as a regular weapon. What if Putin had such bombs right now?
Have a giant hodgepodge of a project log: https://bhmt.dev/blog/scraping

Basically I went from screwing around in a console to reimplementing the same thing using Violentmonkey[0] to eventually using `astral` (a Deno-based browser automation lib)

For a simple example, to walk through a paginated list: check the first page's DOM for a "next page" link. Make a `fetch` request against its href, get the response's HTML content using `res.text()`, and then pass it into a `DOMParser`. Then, check that DOM for another "next" button. And so on. (Obviously running whatever page scraping logic you might need each time you run the loop.)

Another example of why you might do this is, say, to replace sections of a comment history while you overwrite them. (Though, to your point, when I did that to my Reddit account I had to use old reddit for this part in particular. I was trying to do the whole thing within the browser, and that turned out to not be possible in New Reddit bc client-side routing kept spawning new console instances.)

Browser automation libs come with handlers for stuff like selection anyway, but it's still there if you need client-side logic -- you can use `page.evaluate()` to execute code within the browser context and pass data back out.

I feel comparing knowing assembly to knowing about NAT/Subnets/Gateway is a false equivalency.

Outside of a small set of folks most devs need NOT know assembly due to compilers being very good at converting to assembly.

Not the same Subnet/Gateway/NAT. These are first class constructs in most cloud developments and has huge implications on security, performance and costs. Unless you have some kind of automated way that abstracts away these issues (akin to compilers) most devops folks would need to learn about these concepts while working in a cloud environment.
One could also argue that a truly intelligent species would not build civilizations, as they tend to create more problems than they solve. The natural solution to natural problems is to evolve, and that works pretty dang well for pretty much all known life, other than our own.
It does not follow from you personally deriving psychological benefits or quick energy from eating carbs that a diet which excludes them is not well rounded or is unhealthy.
